STOP!
Before you do anything, get fsck, you'll be glad you did.
Then, read the instructions, and your broken directory will be fixed.
Your filenames, however, will probably get nuked, and turn into 203Eee54
or similar, and the filetypes will all be FFF (Text).

I've done this. I had a disc error 22 reading a floppy directory, so I
used AutoCopy to turn the error into a broken directory, and then fixed
the BD with fsck.
